He then went on, and does to this day, in leading his followers in ritual chants of "Build the Wall". Is that untrue?

Has it been developed into a more mature proposal in the meantime?

And is it as simplistic as the original idea?

Funny how that works, but when the scary AOC proposes something, you complete the plan and judge it a failure, and claim all is impossible.
if trump built a southern wall from coast to coast, it would have very little impact to most americans. if we adapted the green new deal, we’d all be bankrupt and starving. they’re not exactly the same thing.

So you completed the plan and judged it a failure, and claim all is impossible, exactly as I predicted.

Jim in CT "Is Alexandra Ocasio Cortez actually a GOP plant? that is starting to look feasible. She can’t be this stupid."

Jim, you may have found a trend on the left. Seems like these two have a lot in common.....

Nope. Again, you have a serious struggle with reading comprehension - did you finish elementary school?

Trump's wall would go unnoticed by most of us (but in my opinion, as well as the opinion of most border patrol experts, it would reduce illegal crossings). The Green New Deal would be a catastrophe for all of us.

How did you decide that it would be a catastrophe?
What plan did you analyze?

"How did you decide that it would be a catastrophe? "

Second grade arithmetic.

"What plan did you analyze?"

The Green New Deal.

"There’s a reason some people never get out of cubicles"

I have a lot of time left.
